Open Road
July 23, 2008
Tomorrow I’m heading out of town for my birthday. It’ll just be me, some camping gear, maybe my bike and a couple of cameras. This will be something of a first for me. Usually I spend my birthday with friends and whatnot, but this year is all about clearing out the cobwebs (creative and otherwise) so, I’ll be heading north with no set plans or destination.
Seems like a really chancy idea now that I write it down. The fact is though, most of the places that I’ve planned to be recently haven’t been that much fun, how bad could the ones I haven’t planned be?
I might cheat a bit and use the old iPhone to get some direction from time to time. Camping might be the biggest crux of the trip. I’m hoping the Jones family decides they’d rather play ski ball at the pier than commune with nature this weekend. You never know.
That’s kind of the point, right?
